The Adi Part 3 test of instructional ability is the hardest of the exams to pass. Only around 25% of candidates pass this test. This is the exam that causes more confusion, panic and stress than the other 2 exams combined!

So, what DOES the examiner want to see? How does he want you to 'teach' him, and what SHOULDN'T you do? It can all seem very vague and unclear to some candidates. And THIS is the problem facing PDI's going into their Part 3. They have the knowledge to teach people how to drive. They have practised all the Pre-set tests with their trainer over and over - but their trainer ISN'T a DSA examiner, no matter how good or experienced they are!

Yet, the Adi Part 3 test is more straightforward than most people think. As an ADI myself, I wanted to get to the bottom of the Part 3 and find out exactly why so many candidates fail this exam. I contacted a DSA examiner and asked if I could film an interview with him in order to help PDI's understand what they needed to do in order to pass this test - and what they shouldn't do!

The result was nearly two hours of priceless information. One of the things discussed by the DSA examiner were the most common errors candidates make on their Part 3, and what the successful candidates did that helped them to pass. I was surprised to learn that many candidates just practiced each pre set test over and over again. This is a recipe for disaster!

The most important element of the Part 3 exam is your use of the Core Competencies and Instructional Techniques. Yet so many candidates fail to concentrate on these areas in their training. The examiner explained the importance of these skills and exactly HOW you should use them on your Part 3 in order to pass the test.

The fact is, repeatedly practicing the pre-set tests over and over again does not prepare you adequately for the Part 3 exam. In reality, a pre-set test is nothing other than a test route for the examiner. In order for you to understand this point fully, think back to your Part 2 test of driving ability. When the examiner took you out onto the roads during your test, what was the examiner marking you on? Was he marking you on how proficiently you negotiated that particular T junction, or how well you turned right into this side road?

Of course not. The examiner was marking you on how well you negotiated all T junctions, all right turns etc. The examiner was looking for the correct use of the M.S.P.S.L. routine, speed, anticipation, clearance, observations etc - in effect, all the skills that are on the D.S.A. marking sheet.

So, the test route itself is irrelevant. The examiner marks you on exactly the same things regardless of where you actually drive on the test.

It is exactly the same for the Part 3 test. The pre-set test subjects are simply different conditions that you are tested under. No matter what the subject is that you are teaching the examiner, be it a turn in the road, or emerging from T junctions, the examiner will still be marking you on your use of the core competencies and your instructional techniques.

Of course, you still need a comprehensive understanding of each pre-set test subject, but the fact that you have passed the part 2 exam shows that you already have that knowledge.

So, please remember - you are not being examined on the pre set test subjects - but your skills and use of the core competencies and instructional techniques.
